So the US had a huge case using high-level informants.
Bukele wanted back 9 informants who could expose his govt's deals with that same gang to lower the level of violence,
fueling his image as a crime-fighter.
That Rubio made a deal was known.
That he reneged on informants was not.

I drove down town for the No Kings Rally to see how it was going, and maybe attend. It was going great, but because of that no parking in sight. So I drove by the rally and honked, clapped, and waved ... and cried.
I realized that being a recent widower, my emotions aren't settled enough to experience such inspiration -- it's overwhelming to see.
If I can collect my feelings, which are complex, I've decided I could use Uber to get to the rally and back for maybe $50.…

And that's a wrap - the newly refreshed laptop has been handed over to teen with most of the packages functional. Thanks for following along on this @… installation journey with me and thanks to all #linux maintainers, forum contributors and FOSS advocates around keeping the system running.
👏 WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU!👏
The final judgement won't be clear until Monday when the first log in at school happens but hopefully it will be successful, or the IT support is going to have to deal with some very salty comments (from me).

4-uniform Maker-Breaker and Maker-Maker games are PSPACE-complete
We study two positional games where two players take turns picking a previously unpicked vertex of a hypergraph $H$. We say a player fills an edge of $H$ if that player has picked all the vertices of that edge. In the Maker-Maker game, whoever first fills an edge wins, or we get a draw if no edge is filled. In the Maker-Breaker game, the first player aims at filling an edge while the second player aims at preventing the first player from filling an edge. We show that, for both games, deciding w…

GulliVR: A Walking-Oriented Technique for Navigation in Virtual Reality Games Based on Virtual Body Resizing
Virtual reality games are often centered around our feeling of "being there". That presence can be significantly enhanced by supporting physical walking. Although modern virtual reality systems enable room-scale motions, the size of our living rooms is not enough to explore vast virtual environments. Developers bypass that limitation by adding virtual navigation such as teleportation. Although such techniques are intended (or designed) to extend but not replace natural walking, what we often ob…

Trump’s struggles reveal the limits of his usual tactics.
His strategy
—harnessing the anger caused by inequality to deflect blame
—has faltered here.
To understand why, we must look beyond Epstein as a predator to examine the system that protected him.
Documents recently released from Epstein’s estate expose the extent of his aristocratic immunity.
In a 2008 plea …

The real reason Donald Trump can’t escape the Epstein scandal
Donald Trump’s usual tactics to deflect blame are failing as victims of Jeffrey Epstein expose the deep inequalities that protected the predator, and now implicate Trump himself.
